OVERVIEW

The Stock Manager is responsible for the hands-on, day-to-day execution of stock operations across our New York City free-standing stores in Queens and SoHo. This role processes incoming shipments, organizes stock across the stockroom and sales floor, executes cycle counts, makes inventory adjustments, and manages product disposals and obsolescence. This also keeps stores stocked with the non-merchandise supplies they need to operate, from visual merchandising displayer units to shopping bags and other collateral. This role is primarily focused on the behind-the-scenes work of keeping stock accurate, organized, and ready to sell, though there may be occasions where supporting the sales floor or assisting customers is required.

• Keep stock areas clean, safe, and compliant with company standards and local safety codes
• Set up and break down stock areas for deliveries, inventory events, and seasonal resets

• Maintain accurate, audit-ready inventory records across both locations

Cycle Counts & Physical Inventory

• Execute recurring cycle counts on assigned sections and categories at both locations, following the schedule and plan set by the Retail Manager
• Reconcile count variances and elevate unresolved discrepancies for review
• Lead the on-site execution of annual or periodic full inventory, as scheduled by the Retail Manager

Disposals, Damages & Obsolescence

• Identify damaged, expired, or discontinued product and process markdowns or disposals according to company policy
• Identify and manage obsolete or slow-moving product, escalating for write-off or disposition decisions per company policy
• Document and report damages, disposals, and obsolescence to support shrink tracking

• Partner day-to-day with the Store Manager at each location (dotted-line relationship) and store teams at both locations to resolve stock issues as they come up
• Train store teams on receiving procedures, stock organization standards, and basic inventory best practices
• Provide the Retail Manager with regular updates on inventory accuracy, cycle count results, and stock health
